To be clear, we on the Rust team see 'unsafe' as being strictly about memory safety as well, and have actively fought against using it as a general "pay attention here" kind of annotation.

Eventually, effects would be nice to mark other kinds of "here be dragons" as well, but for now, unsafe == possible memory unsafety.

If you read the comment you'll see that I'm talking about different interpretations of memory safety. You can't just decide what it means in Rust applies to all languages, or that everyone knows what you mean.

I was trying hard to have a conversation while avoiding arguing about semantics, so thanks for that.
